I think that this would be tremendous waste of the time and talents of
the major contributors to this group. There is more than enough
information on the web and in text books about the routine aspects of
web authoring. If someone posts here because they don't know what to
look for or they are too lazy to look then another web authoring site
won't help them. A beginner or a casual HTML user like me can usually
answer their question.
The experts should be encouraged to write essays on "xxx is harmful"
such as <http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www/click.html> or some
specialist aspect of the craft that interests them like
<http://nrkn.com/backgroundWidth/>. The latter is extremely helpful if
you need it and unlikely to appear in a general authoring Wiki.
Unfortunately, the most frequently asked question in this group cannot
be answered by a static web site. We need a site to which I could
submit a document and it would tell me why it renders "correctly" in
Internet Explorer but not in Firefox or Opera.
